In determining whether or not XYZ should elect to become an S-Corp, there are many advantages and disadvantages and various tax consequences that need to be weighed. The biggest advantage in electing S status is avoidance of the double taxation associated with C-Corps. This means that items of income, deduction, gain or loss are pass through to its owners and the entity itself is not subject to tax, thus there is only one level of taxation, at the shareholder level. Other advantages of becoming an S-Corp include not having to deal with the alternative minimum tax that may applies to C-Corps with greater than $7.5 million in annual gross receipts, and not having to convert to the accrual method of accounting when average gross receipts exceeds

Our client, Individual #1, is currently earning $350k in gross receipts and $175k in gross profit, respectively, from his IT consulting business. In discussions with the client, we learned he wants to transition his sole proprietorship/LLC into either an S-Corp or C-Corp. I propose his reorganization as an S-Corp as although it limits his potential for equity investment, it provides both a liability and tax shield.
C corporations are able to have unlimited shareholders, which is probably an important characteristic to large companies. (S corporations, for example, may not have more than 100 shareholders.) C corporations can also be owned by non-citizens or other business entities, where S corporations can only be owned by individuals who are US citizens.
Coastal Surgical Specialist Incorporated operates as an S corporation and does business as Coastal Surgical Institute (CSI). In business there are different types of corporations and an S corporation, which is often referred to as an S Corp, is a unique type of corporation created through an IRS tax election (S Corporation | The U.S. Small Business). This means that the owners (shareholders) of the corporation are protected from liability. Essentially, an S corporation 's shareholder 's personal assets cannot be seized to satisfy business liabilities, and an S corporation can avoid being taxed twice (taxing both the corporation and the shareholders). In addition, S corporation shareholders can be employees of the business and draw salaries as employees. These advantages to shareholders have helped to create a vested interest in CSI, which seems to be one of the structural keys to the organization 's overall success - there are multiple parties involved who want CSI to do well.

The biggest advantage in XYZ electing S status is that it will allow the corporation to avoid the corporate level tax, however, this benefit will not apply the built-in gains (BIG) tax. The BIG tax is a corporate level tax that is imposed on certain built-in gains of an S-Corp if the gains arose while the corporation was a C-Corp. As provided by §1374, “If for any taxable year beginning in the recognition period an S corporation has a net recognized built-in gain, there is hereby imposed a tax [at the highest corporate tax rate in effect, currently 35%] on the lesser of the corporation's net recognized built-in gain for the tax year or the remaining net unrealized built-in gain not previously subjected to the tax.” The recognition period, as

Finally, the corporation is the most reliable and trusted form of business entity.

However, despite their large numbers, ease of formation and the entity not being taxed, sole proprietorships have the disadvantage of its owner having unlimited liability for business losses. While the Sole proprietor owns all the assets, he/she also owes all business liabilities in their entirety (Chow, 1942, p.157).

However, business owners do have the option of purchasing a liability or umbrella insurance policy to offset or potentially eliminate the need to use personal assets to cover business losses. This liability insurance should include worker’s compensation, auto, general liability, and property and casualty coverage. Insurance costs will vary from business to business
